Medische uitdaging

❗ This is a confirmed cat ❗

At the end of December 2023, Pablo came to the attention of someone who cared about Pablo's fate. He was in a very bad state at the time. Starving and weak. So weak that he could no longer really walk.

A message about Pablo on Facebook reached Haven and he was admitted.

Pablo recovered well with rest, safety and nutrition. Blood tests showed that he has kidney problems.

He needs special diet and medication. Pablo also has Cerebellar hypoplasia. A 'CH' cat. This is a developmental disorder of a part of the brain that causes control problems with movement.

Pablo was a street cat as he was found on the street. His age is uncertain but best estimate is that he is about 10 years old. He could be younger or older.

There are no street cats that are 10 years old. Pablo must have been a house cat that was no longer welcome. Putting him on the street should have been a death sentence for Pablo. If the miracle of being taken in at Haven did not happen.

Pablo is considerably older than most SHE cats. But still has many years to go. With good care.

Haven gives him a good start with the standard treatment;

He has received his vaccinations against common cat diseases and rabies. Deworming and flea treatment. Is chipped and neutered.

Who can see beyond his age and his medical concerns? Does a Pablo have a chance with you? Please read our adoption procedure.

Every now and then there is a cat whose rescue sticks in the memory. And while that can also be with a very cute photo, most of the time it is because of the terrible situation the cat found itself in.

We introduce you to Amber.

She came in covered in tar. It is not known how this happened. Let's hope she fell in herself. – It's hard not to immediately think the worst of people.

Amber revived thanks to the good care in Haven!

We estimate Amber to be 3 to 4 years old. She has now received her vaccinations against common cat diseases and rabies. She has been sterilized.

Has received anti-worm and anti-flea treatments. Is chipped. Graduated from the University of Litter Box Use.

Amber gets along well with other cats and cat-friendly dogs.

She is also social with people. It is not a shoulder cat but is friendly and loves cuddles.

Amber is positive for FIV, but we are confident that this will not affect her love for you.

If cats interact peacefully with each other, the risk of infection is very low. And keeping Amber alone is also an option.

FIV cats should only live indoors and benefit from a good diet and a stable routine.

Like all cats, but especially with a cat like Amber, be sure to visit the vet every year for a check-up.

If you want to read more about 'living with an FIV cat; ' This is a Dutch-language Facebook group for people with an FIV cat and this is a similar English speaking group. – See also the 'info sheet FIV' at the bottom of this message.

If you would like to give Amber a try, take a look at our adoption procedure. And please don't hesitate to ask anything. Feel free to ask!
